Describes what a CLI add-on feature template is, and how it is used.


The CLI add-on feature template is a template that:

  • Allows you to add custom device commands not available in standard feature templates.

  • Gives the commands in it priority over those present in the feature templates during merges.

When you specify commands using the template, always use the commands as per the syntax displayed in the show sdwan running-config output.

For example, for Cisco AAA, the attempts login command is not available in Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

By using a CLI add-on feature template, you can specify the aaa authentication attempts login number command for a device.

After you create the feature template, ensure that you add it to the device template.

You must define the CLI add-on feature template before you use it in a device template.


Restrictions for CLI add-on feature templates

The CLI add-on feature templates:

  • Are supported only on devices running Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.2.1r or later.

  • Allow only one CLI add-on template per device template.

  • Require verification of each command by logging in and running it on the intended device before adding it to the CLI add-on feature template.

  • Include only supported commands. Using unsupported commands cause errors and configuration failures.

    For example, "login local" is not supported.
